Hello everyone

 

I have a large TEXT type field, in GRID mode only the first N characters are shown about 50 and "..." I would like to show all the text lines in that field.

Any ideas?

 

please I'm pretty lost ...

Hi there... the text are not displayed as a whole in the column view. 

 

You can see it all during editing or adding of record.

 

Where do you want to see it fully?

If you want to display all your text in the grid, I suggest you use callbackColumn. You will be able to create your own HTML that will be displayed in the cell of the grid.

I think @cletourneau idea is great actually 

 

Please guys have in mind that because we had some issues with callbackColumn, I would suggest to use the latest version of GCE (version 2.3.6)

 

Also @wildfandango have in mind that you can always change the limiter value from the config file to another number. More specifically the config value is: column_character_limiter

Hi, thx for the info, finally my solution is a callbackColumn.

 

I use version 2.3.4 enterprise edt. without problems:

 

the callback

        $crud->callbackColumn('notes', function ($value, $row) {
            return lineFEED(viewFIELD("notices",$row->id,"notes"));
        });

the viewFIELD (helper function)

 

function viewFIELD($tab,$id,$cam,$key='id')
{
    $CI =& get_instance();
    $query = $CI->db->query('SELECT '.$cam.' FROM '.$tab.' where '.$key.' = '.$id.' LIMIT 1');
    $qrow = $query->row_array();
    $result = $qrow[$cam];

    return $result;
}

the lineFEED (helper function)

 

function lineFEED($txt)
{
    $crs = array(chr(12), chr(13));
    return str_replace($crs, "<br>", $txt);
}
